AdvancedPoll setup and operation for dummies

Hi Henrystr

I am not an expert in php. I am actually getting started but I have already started building a few websites in php so, I'm sorry if my question is somewhat stupid.

Do you have any server software installed like xampp, wamp or (mamp if you are using mac)?
If yes, is it working correctly?

As far as I know the index.php page should read "It works!" if everything is set to go.

I hope this helps a bit, unfortunately this is the far I can go.

Good luck!

You need to change the number in

echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);

to reflect the number of the poll you want to show.

Hi to both of you. I am running on Justhost server and with it runs linux with apache 2.219, PhP 5.2.17, MySql 5.1.56

I did get it to work somewhat but I have a couple questions that may answer several others.

Can I run multiple polls on the same page and if so how the heck do I get them in the spots on the page that I want them?

PS. I did change the numbers to reflect the proper ID such as (x) where x= 4 or 5 whichever poll id I want to add .. you were very instrumental in helping me with that when you answered JC thank you so much for the help here in advance.

I don't use the poll but I would guess you just put the code for the poll exactly where you want the poll to appear. The code in question being

echo $php_poll->poll_process(1);

I do not see anything on that page, I did not get anything, but the demo, when I went to the scene. I added the other code, it is for me to create my home page to the correct path.

I want to install, I built a website to vote, but my PHP knowledge is very little, but I know about HTML.
